Please remove links to websites that undermine parents or that have offensive content
 

 

As a concerned parent I want to encourage the VDH to remove from Virginia School Health Guidelines the Advocates for Youth website, and any other links that provide content on abortion access, sexuality, gender identity and other related topics that should be discussed with parents. This undermines the responsibility of the parent.

I also disapprove of the offensive websites that promotes campaigns like “Abortion Out Loud” and “Free the Pill Youth Council”; offers resources for abortion access; and provides an animated video series aimed at young kids that talks about issues like abortion, sex, sexuality, and sexual identity, which should be reserved parents. This is a direct violation of what and how a parent teaches their children. I am strongly against these websites being showed or taught to any child which can and will influence them. This is the parent's decision not the governments.

Furthermore I am against the VDH trying to promote materials and resources of a sexual nature that could be shared with a child without parental knowledge, and undermine a parent's right to direct the health and education of their children.
